Peppermint on the nose....decent balance with limited air. Chocolate and cherries. Long finish. Should get slightly better with some air.

Beautiful floral nose....very well balanced...tamed tannins....smooth finish. I would say green apple and cherry dominate without much air.

Maybe I got a bad bottle...but this had a terrible nose and tasted moldy or corked. Hope the next one is better

Definitely a Washington State Cab. A little thin and slightly bitter but got better with some air, but still much different from Napa Cab. I got a closeout bargain at 70% off list so no complaints.

PNP...nicely balanced...smooth finish...not too hot...good fruit and body. So far it is tasting like a great deal on sale at $19.00 Would pay more. Bought 1 bottle to try...looks like a case purchase is justified!!!!

unbalanced and harsh finish. Remembered it as a better bottle from past vintages.

Not bad...not great....a little on the thin side...weak finish. Taste more like Ridge Zins. Would not buy again at $53+. many other alternatives as good or better for less $$$$

Super smooth. Two more years in the cellar added a point. Sat under a big tree in the middle of their vineyard 6 years ago with the wine rep for private tasting. Wasn't thinking of buying but left after an hour with an order for 3 cases of a variety. Really special grape.

Decent cab for $26.00. Needs at least 30 minutes of air.
